I believe that we are here, on this earth, on this plane (of reality), to Be Here. And to do the things with our lives that we are able to do, on this earth, on this plane. I don't think there's only one set of things we are to do (after all, you don't have to take every class your school offers in order to graduate), but I really do think that what we do in our lives is significant. Whether it's raising kids, healing wounds, writing books, painting pictures, picking up garbage, putting out fires, singing songs, telling stories, praying to the gods, picking fruit, whatever--we are here to interact with the world and with each other. What comes next, after life, who knows? We'll see the course catalog when we get there. For now, concentrate on Here.
